Rustic Thanksgiving Tablescape

I have been eyeing up the basket of honeynut squash at my local Trader Joe’s for a few weeks now.  I’m not sure that I have ever seen honeynut squash before – if I have I never paid them much notice – but this year they kept jumping right out at me with their pretty, muted color and miniature size.  They practically begged me to take them home.

And this past weekend I finally gave in and grabbed a few for my cart with the idea I could use them to create a pretty Thanksgiving tablescape.

And now I’m kind of wishing I was hosting Thanksgiving dinner, because I love how it turned out.

Simple Fall Front Porch

I finally got around to getting my porch decorated for fall last week.  It’s been so darn hot and I’ve been out of town the past couple of weekends, so I  didn’t even realize we were already halfway into October.  What?!?!  Guess it was time for me to get my decorating butt in gear and get some pumpkins out there.

I didn’t do much this year.  I brought home a pile of pumpkins and a load of mums last year and almost all of the pumpkins rotted before Halloween and almost all of the mums dried out and died even sooner. And since this fall season has been even warmer than last year (this better not be a trend Mother Nature, or you and I are going to have words…), I decided to take it easy on the mums and pumpkins and tried to supplement with a few things from around the house.

Inspire: Beautiful Fall Mantels

There are so many ways to decorate a mantel for the fall season.  You can keep it simple or layer multiple elements.  Sprinkle in fall color or keep it textured and neutral.  You can line it with pumpkins and fall leaves, or take a more subtle approach.

Your creativity can really run wild with this space in your home – so have some fun with it!

Fall Dining Room and a Not so New Rug

I really love my jute rugs.

Love the texture, love the color, love the simplicity – what’s not to love about a jute rug?  They’re very loveable.

Buuut….

I’ve been feeling the pull for something with more pattern lately.

I know, right?  Who would have thought.

The dining room seemed like a good place to start, so I decided to give a wool rug I had in the basement a test drive to see how I like it.  That way – even though this particular rug isn’t exactly what I had in mind – I can see if something with more color and/or pattern is something I may want to keep around for the long term.

Mix and Match: Fall Front Door

Oh I am so happy it’s Friday!

What fun things do you have planned for the weekend?  I’d love to get some fall color out on my front porch – but it’s so darn hot out there I don’t even want to be outside.  Might have to wait and see if it cools down later next week.  Fingers crossed!

But it doesn’t have to be just about the pumpkins and mums when it comes to your front porch this fall season.  A new harvest inspired wreath and fun doormat can instantly refresh your front door and welcome guests.

Here are a few that caught me eye.

Rustic Fall Living Room

How many Pumpkin Spice Lattes have you indulged in already this September?  I’ll admit that I have had a few.

When exactly did pumpkin spice become an obsession?  Did we all of sudden discover the deliciousness of pumpkin flavored everything in the past few years?  I swear, before then the only time you heard about pumpkin was in a pie.

Or maybe I just never paid attention.  Either way, I’m not mad.  I love all the pumpkin flavored things.  All of them.

Pretty much if it involves pumpkins, or boots, or falling leaves, or cinnamon, or apples, or really anything that would even slightly evoke the feeling of the fall season, I am all over that.

“The fondest memories are made while gathered ’round the table.”
